Character Descriptions:

Sister Aloysius Beauvier is a nun of the order of Sisters of Charity. In her 50s or 60s, she is watchful, reserved and unsentimental. She’s a no-nonsense, hardened administrator, determined to maintain order and tradition. She wears the black bonnet and floor-length black habit of the sisters.

Father Flynn, priest of St. Nicholas Church, has a working-class background. In his 30s or 40s, he is well-liked and particularly popular with the boys that he coached in basketball. He is rather modern in his religious views.

Sister James, the eighth-grade teacher of Donald Muller, is in her 20s. She is a member of the Sisters of Charity and wears the bonnet and habit. She is reserved, but there is “a bit of sunshine in her heart.” She cares about her students and wants to think the best of everyone.

Mrs. Muller is an African-American woman, 30s or 40s, working class, weary and wary of the world. She has learned to accept what she has to accept and work with it.

Auditions will be held at Harper College Liberal Arts Center Drama Lab located at 1200 W. Algonquin Road, Palatine, IL (Building L, room L109), parking lot #2.
